Wholesale Organic Juniper berry
Juniperus communis
plant overview
the berry with smoky flavor
Our organic juniper berries, harvested from an evergreen tree in the cypress family found throughout temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Although
juniper has little lumber value due to its size, its wood is used in
northern European countries to construct boxes to house aging cheese.
Juniper wood is also used as incense and to smoke meats and cheeses. The
berries, which are not berries at all but cones, are used to flavor game
meats, breads, sauces and liquors. Juniper berries were once used to flavor
Scottish whiskey, and are still used in gin, Swedish beer and a French
hops-based beverage called genevrette.
